The long awaited box sets by <strong>The Smiths</strong> have finally arrived. There are a lot of Smiths fans out there who have been counting down the days for these box sets to arrive. We all probably have about 4 or 5 all time favorite bands. Those bands that we love more than anything else. We collect everything we can by them. We have probably owned their albums on cassette, CD and LP. We have listened to their albums over and over again. We have watched the videos over and over again. We have read all we could about them. We have spent hours reading magazines and books about them. We then later spent years looking for articles and blogs on them online. Or spent hours and hours on message boards or chat rooms. We have seen them live in concert as much as we could afford to. Assuming the band actually<img align="right" alt="the smiths " height="230" hspace="8" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Brad/smithspic2" style="border: 3px solid silver;" title="The Smiths" vspace="8" width="350" /> toured when we could see them. These bands are usually the bands that you were really obsessed with in your late teens and early 20s. At least that is how it was for me. The bands that you discovered in junior high that you then became obsessed with in high school and college. The bands that your older siblings or cousins got you into. The bands that your friends that were cooler than you found out about first.&nbsp; The bands that you can&#39;t imagine your life without. They are the soundtrack to our lives. We listened to them in our bedrooms late at night by ourselves. We later listened to them late at night with our best friends and girlfriends and boyfriends. We listened to them in the car with our parents and later with our friends. We listened to them on our first dates. We put their songs on compilations and mix tapes. We danced to their songs in our bedrooms by ourselves and later at clubs and parties and at friends houses. These are the bands that helped to create our favorite moments from our past. The songs that helped us to remember those memories.<br />

The rockin&#39; archeologists over at Rhino say this promo video was probably commissioned in 1992 to support The Smiths&rsquo;&nbsp;<em>Best&hellip;</em> albums. What will they find next? Cave paintings of Bernard Sumner at&nbsp;Chauvet Pont d&#39;Arc?<br />

I was a <strong>New Order</strong> fan way before I was a <strong>Joy Division</strong> fan. I know most people would claim the other way around. I am sure you hear some people born in 1985 who claim to have liked Joy Division before they liked New Order, but it is just not possible for some of us. Joy Division was formed in 1976, when I was 2 years old. <strong>Ian Curtis </strong>committed suicide days after my sixth birthday. We simply didn't cover this event in my Kindergarten class. Joy Division were not on <em>Sesame Street.</em> It really was not until 1987 when I started getting into New Order. The double album <em><strong>Substance</strong></em> came out in 1987. It still remains one of my favorite albums. It was one of the albums that shaped who I am today. It probably was also one of the first albums that I was absolutely obsessed with. I am sure it has a special place in the heart of many. The first album by them I remember actually buying was <strong><em>Technique</em></strong>, which came out in January of 1989. I was in ninth grade and not really ready for the 80s to be over. I actually think I had a dubbed cassette of <em>Technique </em>and <em>Substance</em> before I actually bought any album by them. Within the next couple of years I <img width="300" vspace="8" hspace="8" height="202" align="right" alt="joy division" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Brad/joydivisionneworder.jpg" style="border: 3px solid pink;" />picked up most of the New Order albums and the two studio albums of Joy Division. I quickly fell in love with Joy Division as well, but for different reasons. I was also a Morrissey fan before being a Smiths fan. It was always exciting to go back and discover a band that was over before I was old enough to actually listen to them while they were happening. I fell in love with New Order-- there was just no avoiding it. They were everything I wanted in a band. They were also really unavoidable during the 80s and 90s. New Order were all over the radio and you would most likely hear them everywhere else you went. You would hear them in the mall or at your friends' house. DJs loved New Order. You would most likely hear them at any school dance, dance club, party, wedding, or bar mitzvah that you went to. They were a band that was easy to fall in love with. Joy Division captured that inner <img width="240" vspace="8" hspace="8" height="244" align="left" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Brad/neworder2.jpg" style="border: 3px solid aqua;" alt="new order" />depression and angst that many of us felt, but New Order captured that more fun and optimistic side that many of us also identified with. Joy Division and New Order were sort of two sides of a coin. They have both remained with me ever since. I still never get tired of hearing &quot;True Faith&quot; or &quot;Blue Monday.&quot;<br />

If I could imagine up any box set to best describe me and capture my little world of music, it would look something like this new brilliant box set released today by Rhino. The new &quot;Brit Box&quot; is a 4 cd set of the british music from the 80's and 90's that made me who I am. I have many mix tapes that resemble a lot of what is included in this box. Some of them made by me and many made by friends. I can remember the exact moment that I heard some of the songs on this box for the first time. The exact moment that I went to a record store in search of the albums from these artists. There are 78 songs by 78 different artists in this box. <br />
<br />
The box is officially called &quot;The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit Pop Gems of the Last Millennium.&quot; It really looks awesome. The box is shaped like one of those red telephone booths in England. I have never seen one up close but we all know what they look like. It even has a working light. It also comes with an 80 page book of interviews and photos. It includes essays by Alan Mcgee, Stephen Street, and Alan Moulder. It<img width="300" vspace="8" hspace="8" height="236" align="right" src="http://www.amoeba.com/admin/uploads/blog/Brad/smiths2.jpg" style="border: 3px solid red;" alt="" /> drives me a little crazy when box sets or collections have a random order to the track listing. So it made me happy to see that the tracks are all in a basic order. The box set is not perfect. But it comes really close. I own or have owned at one point almost all of the songs in this box. If I didn't own one of the albums that all these songs were on, then I definitely had a close friend that did. I might have picked a couple different songs for some of these artists and I probably would have included a couple more artists. But overall, the box is very impressive. I really can't wait to open one up and read all those interviews and stories in that fancy little booklet. And I can not wait to listen to all these songs again. I have never stopped listening to most of the bands in this box. The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, The Stone Roses, Lush, Suede, Blur, &amp; Pulp remain some of my favorite bands. It is really hard to even put into words the lasting effect that these bands have had on me and on a whole generation of music fans. <br />
